Coventry 2015
On behalf of Dave, Pauline and myself, thank you so much to everyone who supported my Coventry Home Game. We had a fantastic time
and the atmosphere was just so lovely, we had so much fun. As you can see from the photos in my Photo Album, the fancy dress costumes were brilliant!!
Thank you also to my lovely guest choreographer Daniel Trepat. I hope you enjoyed his teaches along with my new dances too.
I was overwhelmingly surprised when Daniel presented me with my Best International Dance Teacher of 2014 award from the German Star Awards. Thank you again to everyone who voted for me.
My youngest son, Padraig, aged 5, made his Irish dancing debut and danced with his brothers Sean and Gerard. Mummy was so so proud of my gorgeous boys, as was Daddy.
We will be back at the Royal Court Hotel on 25-27 November next year, with the lovely Roy Hadisubroto, who some of you have had the pleasure of meeting in Portugal earlier this year.
Booking details are on the Events page.
Portugal 2015
We had a great time on my line dance holiday in Portugal with my guest choreographer Roy Hadisubroto, a world champion megastar. It was good to see familiar faces and to welcome new ones.
During the week, I taught my two brand new dances - Greater Than Me and Roads. I also taught my other recent dances - Tribal Heartbeat, Simply the One, Here's To Us, Don't Dance Alone and The Galway Gathering.
Roy taught his dances Promise, Obsesion, Angel and Party Time, which were fun to learn with some great styling. He gave us a superb Showtime demo on our Party night, which left me in quite a spin - literally!! Thanks Roy for helping to make
such a fun week. One of our Norwegian dancers, Berit Johannessen, also taught us her dance Spirit.
My thanks go to Dave "The Rave" Blake our DJ, who did such a splendid job with all our dance requests and to Gwen my valued helper who, amongst other things, decorated our party night tables so well. Anja, our Club Dance Holidays tour host,
did an excellent job as always looking after all our travel and hotel arrangements, which was much appreciated.
